uhohlemonster Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Yes, saw that. Would love to know who these people are hearing from and in which subfield...
TMP Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Pulling for you Rutgers wanna-bes! Summer... I hope for Middlebury if they can be super nice to me.
cooperstreet Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 ticklemepink. Thanks. Are you going to be at Mills College or Vermont?
TMP Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Vermont. I WISH that they'd offer my language at Mills... I want to be back in California!!!
mstrandmark Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 does anyone want to claim the newest IU wait list? and perhaps the first letter of your last name?
dragonflyingash Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Hi I'm one of the Rutgers admits. Very excited. I got an email from the Vice-Chair of Grad Admissions, not a POI.
Gene Parmesan Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 On top of an Arsenal win over AC Milan, I'm hoping today brings good news to all of us!
Simple Twist of Fate Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 On top of an Arsenal win over AC Milan, I'm hoping today brings good news to all of us! An Arsenal fan? And I thought I liked you because of the Arrested Development avatar/name...
goldielocks Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 Hi I'm one of the Rutgers admits. Very excited. I got an email from the Vice-Chair of Grad Admissions, not a POI. Congrats! Do you think this was a mass email, then? Also, would you mind sharing your field? Thank you!
dragonflyingash Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks!! I'm an Americanist. I don't think it was a mass email just by the specific information about my award, but I could be wrong. If you have any other questions feel free to send me a message.
TMP Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 goldie, when do you expect to hear from Hogwarts? What's the most generous financial package that they have? Would it be something that Northwestern can match? Wait, Northwestern doesn't have Albus Dumbledore...
Simple Twist of Fate Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Congratulations to Rutgers admits. That was another school I almost applied to, but didn't quite. Good luck to the other Rutgers hopefuls, who I'm sure are totally on edge right now. Today is finally Feb 15. Back in the dreary days of December and January, we kept mentioning this day as if it held some magical properties. I bet it will be another relatively quiet day. (prepared to eat my words)
goldielocks Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 Thanks, dragonfly. And congrats again! TMP: Well, I'm not sure when Hogwarts typically begins notifications. I'm trying to weigh it against NU though, since that was one of my top choices, and seems like pretty much the best fit I could ask for. But there's no quidditch, or feasts, or magic... though I've heard some of the buildings resemble Hogwarts?
easybreesy9 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 chit-chat question: if i have only ~1 semester of my language and am entering my program in the fall, would y'all suggest doing something hardcore like middlebury this summer? or would a regular summer language class at a local class be ok? there's no right answer, i know, but any general thoughts would be helpful...
oseirus Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 On top of an Arsenal win over AC Milan, I'm hoping today brings good news to all of us! Forza Milano! Hilversum and SapperDaddy 1 1

uhohlemonster Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Are all these Rutgers admits Americanists?
wikichic Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Are all these Rutgers admits Americanists? Goodness, I hope so! Maybe they admitting by subfield first. It would make me feel a lot better if so.
cooperstreet Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Goodness, I hope so! Maybe they admitting by subfield first. It would make me feel a lot better if so. I'm global, and haven't heard anythign yet, and have a number of POIs there.
goldielocks Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 Are all these Rutgers admits Americanists? I was wondering the same thing.
maeisenb Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Glad to see that other people on here support Arsenal. 2:45 Fox Soccer Channel!!!! IU question. Last name probably isn't why people are hearing since they all seemed to go out last night at basically the same time. They were also all wait lists and for PhD programs, so they are probably all done together.
sandyvanb Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Congrats to the Rutgers acceptees! I have no idea what I am going to be doing this summer. It really depends on whether I get into a program... There are just too many variables right now for me to make plans. I do have a conference paper to write for a conference at the end of August... That is the only concrete project I have on the table!
taybaxter Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I think for my own sanity I ought to just presume I'm going to WashU and start making plans for that (not that anything is wrong with WashU of course!). Tired of worrying about other schools.

Tired of worrying about other schools. What?! That's crazy, you've only heard back from 2.5 schools (Probably yale?). For your sanity, you should proudly hold out for their decisions!
taybaxter Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) What?! That's crazy, you've only heard back from 2.5 schools (Probably yale?). For your sanity, you should proudly hold out for their decisions! I didn't mean do anything official yet. Just stop worrying and start thinking about the fact that I have a grad school to go to--and learn as much as possible about it--rather than obssess over the ones I haven't heard from.
